The Langpangkong Students’ Conference (LKM) has appealed to the Administration (Deputy Commissioner) in Mokokchung to address the poor workmanship of the KKB Rulho Construction Company, which is responsible for the ongoing two-lane construction under the Langpangkong range.

Setting the deadline on July 30, 2024 for the Administration to take action, the LKM warned that it  will proceed with its own course of action.

“The Langpangkong range has a history of prioritizing road development since ancient times, with the community being united in this endeavour. The people of Langpangkong have never demanded land compensation during the construction of the National Highway and have remained as taxation free zone. Along  with Langpangkong Tzukong Mungdang Road Coordination Committee (LTMRCC), the Langpangkong Students’ Conference Road Coordination Committee (LKMRCC) have been supportive of companies operating within their range,” stated the LKM.

Despite numerous requests to the KKB Rulho Construction Company to adhere to the project’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) and work systematically, the LKM claimed that there has been no improvement in their work quality.

“As a result, local residents and commuters are facing significant challenges due to the poor workmanship. After failed negotiations with the company and project officials, the conference has decided to escalate the matter to the Administration for intervention before the specified deadline,” asserted the LKM.
